The Mariners’ Museum is bringing two powerhouses together: both well-versed historians and prolific writers. John V. Quarstein, director emeritus of the USS Monitor Center, will host Robert N. Macomber, author of the “Honor Series” novels and creator of the legendary Naval hero, Peter Wake. In this unforgettable exchange, the pair will discuss the often misunderstood but crucial role of Florida and the surrounding Caribbean in the US Civil War. From the war’s beginning to its tumultuous end, Spanish Cuba, the British Bahamas, French Mexico, and the Danish West Indies were the scenes of fantastic profits, naval skullduggery, and political intrigue. Join us for this look at how these authors’ research and writing processes produce such popular award-winning works.

Viewers are welcome to send Robert and John any comments or questions during the presentation, and they will answer them following the lecture.
